The Problem Bel Solves
Most organisations know they need to act on waste and circularity. The gap is almost never intent — it's implementation.
Targets get set. Strategies get written. Then they hit the reality of multiple sites, competing priorities, confused procurement teams, and contractors who aren't aligned. That's where most circular programs stall.
Bel has spent 20 years on both sides of that gap — working inside organisations at The GPT Group, Australia Post, and ALDI, and before that, in the trucks, depots, and materials recovery facilities where waste either gets sorted properly or it doesn't. She knows what works on paper and what works on the ground, and she builds programs that do both.

Hear from our clients
Ricardo Pinto | Senior Manager, Customer Sustainability and Reporting, Group Sustainability Office | Australia Post
Australia Post entrusted Bel with the vital task of shaping our packaging governance framework and devising a roadmap for our soft plastics strategy, integral components of our 2025 Sustainability Roadmap.
Bel's profound industry expertise shone throughout the engagement, evident in her meticulous methodology. Her adeptness in merging technical acumen with strategic foresight is truly commendable.
Nina Collinson | ESG Manager | Glad Group
Bel took our brief to define what we need to do, and provided an outstanding result which has been very well received by the business. She has also shared the right amount of relevant information with me so I can carry on the program.
She has clearly articulated what our people need to understand to enable best practice waste and recycling for our customers, but has also listened and learned from them through her time with us.
Graz van Egmond | Chief Executive Officer | Banksia Foundation
Belinda is one of our NSW and National Banksia Awards judges for the biodiversity category.
She has clear enthusiasm for the topic, approaches judging with rigour and is a champion for our entrants and celebrations.
Thank you Belinda for contributing your time, expertise and playing an integral role in the program.
Alana Stoeger, District Sustainability Manager
I recently participated in the NSW Government Food Organics Accelerator Program co-facilitated by Belinda Chellingworth.
Belinda was an engaging facilitator that brought real world experience and practical solutions to the complex challenge of food waste segregation across government agencies. As part of the program, Belinda completed a site visit to John Hunter Hospital and as a third-party she brought fresh eyes and an objective perspective to pave a way forward for improved waste management practices.
Importantly, Belinda was able to actively engage and influence a broad range of stakeholders that had previously been resistant to changes in practice. Since the site visit, Hunter New England Local Health District has adopted a number of Belinda’s recommendations including the implementation of mandatory site wide waste management committees and waste management plans. Belinda’s resources, for example her comprehensive waste management plan template, have been invaluable.
